It looks like a sophisticated scam is targeting people expecting deliveries from Apple via UPS. The texts, sent from +19024035123, include the recipient's full name, postal code, and the company they ordered from, asking for a small fee (usually around $2.34 to $2.74 CAD) to deliver the package. Users who contacted UPS and Apple confirmed that neither company charges additional fees for delivery. This scam is particularly convincing because the scammers have access to detailed personal information, raising concerns about a potential security breach at UPS or Apple. If you receive such a text, do not click on any links or provide personal information. Instead, contact the company directly to verify the status of your order. It’s also a good idea to report the scam to UPS at fraud@ups.com and to your local authorities.
